20.500.12556/DiRROS-14707 Lower-limb muscle contractile properties, explosive power and the subjective response of elite soccer players to the Covid-19 lockdown The present study examined the effects of the lockdown period on basic anthropometric measures, countermovement jumping performance, skeletal muscle contractile properties derived from tensiomyography (TMG), injury incidence, and self-assessed general well-being in elite soccer players. A total of 266 players were assessed before (PRE) and 32 players were reassessed 11 days after (POST) the COVID-19 period. Significant changes in the TMG parameters were observed POST compared to PRE: contraction time (Tc) increased from 6% to 50% in vastus lateralis [VL] (p = 0.009) and biceps femoris [BF] (p < 0.001), respectively; whereas radial displacement (Dm) increased for 19% in BF (p = 0.036) and 17% in VL (p < 0.001), respectively. Jumping performance remained unchanged from PRE to POST In addition, athletes rated the lockdown period as a positive event and felt psychologically better during the lockdown, primarily because they spent more time with family members and friends. Although there were no differences in any of the variables describing lower limb muscle power following the two-month lockdown, the altered contractile properties of the assessed muscles suggest suboptimal conditioning of the football players. football male football power explosive power tensiomyography coronavirus covid-19 pandemics lockdown nogomet moški nogomet moč eksplozivna moč tensiomiografija koronavirus covid-19 pandemije ukrepi true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen © 2022 by the authors Neznano 2022-01-06 09:19:34 2022-01-06 09:19:36 2022-08-29 15:03:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Soavtorji: Bostjan Simunic, Sasa Pisot, Matej Kleva, Kaja Teraz, Matjaz Vogrin, Uros Marusic, Rado Pisot; Opis vira z dne 5. 1. 2022; Članek št. 474; str. 1-13 iss. 1 Vol. 19 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2021-12-27 2022-01-01 796.012.11 1660-4601 10.3390/ijerph19010474 92186115 ZRSKP_Paravlic_Armin_i2022.pdf ZRSKP_Paravlic_Armin_i2022.pdf 1 1EBAFB7269C84415D66DF2B29E1F1ED4 2df76c539f5cf4d966f30ebe0981866c57fd29320c6ca62cfc7de447b571ce45 cecee7d4-17b6-11ed-b6b8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=18893 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/1/474 1 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=18892 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
